Just caught up to your review. Thank you for taking to time to do this! Question - who is the current captain? Just curious.

Thank you all for your responses!!!

Great information! Question for you (hope it doesn't sound silly) - was the $510 the price per person or for the whole group? I only found where it was $500pp. Just wanted to confirm. Thanks!

Hello! I will be cruising with three friends out of Southampton June 2024. We plan to spend a few days in London pre-cruise. My friends are arriving in LHR 6 hours after me, so I will be journeying to our hotel on my own. I'd rather take a car service for safety reasons and realize I will be paying more than public transportation. I even tried to find a tour that offered LHR pickup, with maybe a 1/2 day London tour before drop off at the hotel, but was unsuccessful. Any recommendations, either for a half-day tour with pickup/dropoff, or just transport from LHR to London? TIA!!!

Happy Birthday!!! 🥂🍰 I just caught up to this great review. The CS is awesome on the S-class, very comfy. Enjoy everything! And thank you for taking the time to do this report. Laura

Hi Charla! I'm so happy you're cruising again and taking us along. I hope you and Red have a wonderful trip. I think the upper suites on the M class are very different from the S class. Sort of like when condos built in the 70's are more substantial than the ones built in the 80's! 😄 Thank you for taking the time for this report. I hope we can sail together again, when I don't have the family obligations I did on the Equinox last June. Cheers!!! 🥂

Hi Charla! So excited to see a new report from you. I really haven't been on the boards since the June cruise, we were both on, and I can't believe how much I missed CC! Let me also say how much I loved the AC Live episode with the Below Deck captains, I watch all of the Below Deck series and love all of the captains! On your recommendation, I bought Captain Lee's book and I think you should demand a commission for that. I especially loved when Captain Kate showed up to do one of the questions to the captains. And recognizing that the captains were all in Eden, on a ship I haven't been on yet (although I was on Edge a few years ago) made me giddy for reasons only a true Celebrity lover can appreciate. I'll be on Beyond in November, so your report will be invaluable to me. Bon Voyage, smooth sailing and enjoy!!! Laura

Loving your review and your pictures!!! Thank you for taking the time to bring us along with you. Sue Denning rocks (and maneuvers on those high heels so well!).

Looking forward to following along with you! Safe travels.

Happy Birthday Charla! I hope you continue to have a fabulous day and a year ahead full of fun, laughter and many cruises! Laura

Hi Lunastella! I wanted to thank you for taking the time and effort to bring us all along with you on your trip. Your report was fantastic! And the pictures really put us right there with you. Wonderful. I’m scheduled for the Beyond in November 2023, so I will definitely keep many of your insights in mind as I start my planning. Good luck with your cottage renovations. What wonderful views, definitely worth the work. Along with the other advice, also figure that whatever you think it will cost, add about 25-30%!!!

Woo hoo! Another GenX report! Hi Charla - wishing you a very Happy Birthday and Happy Cruising! My brother and SIL (who you met at sailaway on Equinox last month) were married on RC's Explorer of the Seas out of Bayonne 16 years ago and then 25 family and friends opted to take the cruise to Bermuda. It was wonderful (and a little weird to run into friends and family unexpectedly either in Bermuda or on the ship!). I hope you enjoy Bermuda as much as we did. Plus with the sea days, you'll have plenty of opportunity to enjoy everything the ship has to offer (wine tastings, anyone?). I'm so excited to travel along with you. Wishing you safe travels and lots of fun! Laura

Wow - that is incredible! A water spout, I believe, although someone can correct me. Great photos. I am loving your review and pictures. I agree that Tallinn is beautiful - one of my very favorite ports. And so easy to do on your own. Thank you for taking the time to take us along on your journey! Laura

I am very sorry that your entire family got ill. Fortunately it did not occur during the cruise itself! I just returned a little over a week ago from an 8-day cruise on Equinox and the six family members who went (including my Mom - 83 years old, down to my youngest niece age 11) were fortunate that we did not contract any virus on the trip and to date we are all still well. And we were 6 people sharing two cabins. I understand feeling very strongly about not cruising anymore now, but perhaps in time you may find some or all of you wanting to go back to it. Hope you all have a speedy recovery.

I completely understand! With a family of 6 traveling to use up my FCC from a cancelled Galapagos/Machu Picchu cruise, I was on pins and needles for months. We sailed June 18 on Equinox and I'm happy to report we all were on board and had a fantastic time! I've converted my two teenage nieces to cruising!!! 😄
